The 4-inch figures look like umitigated shit in plastic form*. I have high hopes for the Thundertank and Sword of Omens, however.

I wonder what the 'basic' figures are like, At least Slithe gets a mention.
And yes... Grune! Thundrainium club and all I hope.

I like a lot! Some of the cropping on those toy pics particularly on Panthro and the Thundertank could have been done better.
What is that Tygra is meant to be holding?
Liking the classics there.

The designs of new Thundercats for the show look fine but the actual toys look...arse. Classics Lion-O looks better sculpted, but not at the level of MOTU Classics.
The sword and tank continue to look cool though.

The second I saw there'd be a Grune figure, my interest tripled. I'll be getting him at least.
I'm enjoying the designs, I don't have a real problem with any other than Cheetara being a bit on the bland side. Otherwise I'm interested to see where they take it. Hopefully it'll be treated in the same way as the MOTU 2002 series.
By that I mean in tone/storytelling - not cancelled before it reached its full potential/messed up with variants.

Why is Classics Lion'o's glove orange and not red? Is it cartoon coloured not original toy coloured? And lol @ Snarf peeking out of the ThunderTank.

I'm gonna get you little fishies!
I'm not overwhelmed by this series. I could take them or leave them. The classics are nice though.
How can you take a character, redesign her as manga and make her less sexy?

Info on series, images of previously seen figures plus Ssslythe, Mummy Mumra, Mummra the Everliving with and without wings and Tower of Omens found here: www.thundercats.ws/Tower of omens is like a temple that folds up into an attack vehicle. Comes with two smaller vehicles, one looks like the old thundertank and another like the old cats lair. |

I am very impressed with these so far. I can't see me buying the lot, but I'll be definitely getting Mumm-Ra and Grune.

Tower of Omens looks utter shit.
Rarely has my interest in a toy-line went from 'excited' to 'I'll buy something else instead' so quickly.

I like the 'evolution' stages idea (although Pete Laird came up with it first for TMNT) as a way to try and keep the toyline fresh. It has however given me second thoughts about getting any of these because a possible better wave would be round the corner.
Mumm-Ra now has a sword to fight back with (and a scarab sheild) which makes duking it out with Lion-O slightly more fair. Hopefully this will lend to some good fight scenes in the cartoon as opposed to Mumm-Ra hovering, looking smug and keeping a safe distance.
Beserkers!? They gotta be done. Lunatacs!? Nah.

According to the latest Toy News, the range is "planned for late winter release". (Aw, I was hoping to be able to sell them at Auto Assembly.)

According to one of the trade magazines, they're expected to be popular this Christmas. I shall have to dig out that Bandai business card soon....

Not interested in the main range but I can see myself picking up a Sword of Omens.

Grabbed a 4" Cheetara and Panthro the other day. Putting them aside for a while.
